Rightly Jennings Poet Lyric

More Forgiving When Drunk

I never asked you for anything
    n’ you never asked for it back
 found unknowing when the going was green
       I still have problems with that

 Venus, Apollo, your good self and I
    drink too much and then some
  why must the bottle ever leave me dry?
     more forgiving when drunk

                   but no, mercy me, oh my… 
           damned if I do, so I probably won’t
      Oh my God, more forgiving when drunk
Oh my God, more forgiving when drunk
	
  not enough for us to rest assured
     we make do with what we have
 no witless wonder here is keeping score
 and things didn't turn out too bad
	
Venus, Apollo, your good self and I
    don’t like what we’ve become
 left for lost, problems are magnified 
 the Gods, more forgiving when drunk
	
              but no, mercy me, oh my
           I'm falling into a deep blue shade of funk
       Oh my God, more forgiving when drunk
    I thought they’d keep you from the frey
                 I'm so sorry 
                   for being so easy
                     and falling in love 
                         with the first one to please me 
         Oh my God, more forgiving when drunk
                  Oh my God, more forgiving when drunk
            Oh my God, more forgiving 
                 Oh my God
